Mylee CardenasActress / Model, Comedian / Host, Hair / Make-up / Special Effects, Military Tech Advisor, Publicist / Marketing, Stunts / Fights / Driving, Voice OverMylee YC served in the US Army on Active Duty for over 12 years and Retired March 2014. She worked as a Civil Affairs Specialist and an instructor to initial entry Soldiers, preparing them for the mental and physical expectations of their Jobs. In 2011, Mylee was selected to be one of the first women to train and deploy as part of the Army Special Operations Cultural Support Program. During her deployment, she enabled U.S. Special Operations Teams to gain cultural insight, gather information on enemy activities, and help promote governance for Afghan families. Unlike many female Soldiers, Mylee found herself supporting those Special Operations units in remote parts of Afghanistan. It was during this deployment that she discovered a mass in her left breast. She made the decision to continue her tour while keeping a close eye on the lump. Upon returning in March of 2012, she underwent an ultrasound, which led to a surgical consult and ultimately, a diagnosis of Stage IIIc Breast Cancer. Mylee YC is applying the same mentality that she has used throughout her military career; just keep fighting and never give up. A healthy lifestyle and physical fitness have always been important to Mylee. She always struggled with weight and body image issues, and at her heaviest she weighed 213 pounds. It has taken time, but she has learned to love herself and her body. Mylee's goal is to share her story in hopes that it will motivate others to take control of their health and fitness regardless of the situations in which they may find themselves. She is currently a Spokesperson for Manning Up USA, and once she has completed her commitment to the military, she hopes to work as a trainer/coach to help others realize the benefits of living a healthy and fit lifestyle. Just a recap of the last year: Over the last year, Mylee has been through Chemo (started May 22 to present); had a Bilateral Mastectomy and Partial Hysterectomy (Oct 25, 2012); 35 Treatments of Radiation (Dec 26- Feb 14); and is now learning to accept that this is the new normal. She is currently battling with the side effects of these procedures, one of which is Lymphedema in her left arm. She is learning new ways to continue to workout with results and refuses to allow this injury to limit her abilities.Find Mylee on
